As many of you have noted in your reviews, this series is incredibly character driven, so it saddens me as much as you to see it come to an end. I've been living and breathing these complex characters for the last two years, so I almost feel like I'm cutting off one of my own limbs. At the same time, I'm happy to have brought them this far. The rest is up to them...

OK, I lied. Because I had trouble letting go, and because as a selfish reader I like reading more about my favorite characters, I've included five "Future of the Four Kingdoms" epilogues at the conclusion of the novel. That way you as a reader get the satisfaction of a more complete ending with additional knowledge of what transpires over the seven decades or so after the main story line is complete. I hope you enjoy the read, and I'd love to hear what you think in reviews on Amazon!

For those of you who have yet to start this series, you can check out the entire series HERE. For less than $30, you get nearly 4,000 pages of action, characters, magic, and yes, there shall be dragons!

Four Kingdoms. A century-old war. An ancient prophecy that could change everything.

In the spirit of fantasy epics like George R.R. Martin’s A Game of Thrones and Brandon Sanderson’s The Way of Kings, The Fatemarked Epic promises immaculate world building, an ancient prophecy, a mysterious source of magic, interesting characters, war, political intrigue, and romance.

The Hundred Years War has ravaged more than three generations of kings, queens, and citizens across the Four Kingdoms. Corrupt rulers dominate. Religious intolerance runs rampant. The cycle of vengeance continues to turn with the seasons.

An ancient prophecy by a legendary oracle has been long forgotten. The prophecy promises the return of peace to the Four Kingdoms on the backs of a chosen few, the fatemarked, individuals marked at birth and blessed with specific magical powers. One shall be the Kings’ Bane, and will bring death to the warmongering rulers, using fear to force peace; another shall be the Peacemaker, bestowed with the rare ability to heal. Opposite sides of the same coin, dark and light, death and life, the Kings’ Bane and the Peacemaker are responsible for the fate of an entire continent.

As they fight to achieve their destinies, adversity will hinder them in every realm: in the frozen north, assassination attempts and a brutal power struggle; in the holy west, a vicious queen and her self-righteous army of warriors; in the mysterious iron-clad forest of the east, revenge and glory rule the day; and in the southern empires of Calyp and Phanes, maturing dragons, slaves, and a civil war.

To truly fulfill the oracle’s prophecy of peace, both the Kings’ Bane and the Peacemaker, as well as the other fatemarked, will need to overcome those who seek to destroy everything in their pursuit for power.

The first book in an epic saga years in the making, Fatemarked will sweep you away to another land, another time, when magic and dragons, kings and queens, and courage and valor still meant something.

I was born in El Paso, Texas but moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania when I was very young. I grew up in Pittsburgh and then went to Penn State for college. Eventually I moved to Sydney, Australia where I met my wife. A reader all my life, I began writing novels for the children's and YA markets in 2010, and started writing full time in June 2012. Now I travel the world writing with my wife, Adele. I'm a writer with OCD, a love of dancing and singing (but only when no one is looking or listening), a mad-skilled ping-pong player, and prefer writing at the swimming pool to writing at a table.
